Suzuki gs750 Brat

Had this project on the back burner for too long!  This was a really small budget bike, but i finished up the seat and got it back on the road yesterday!

XS650 Seat!

Finished this custom thicker xs 650 seat today.  Turned out really freaking nice!  Black on Black Perforated.

CB 550 Horween Leather Seat

Got this leather hide in from Horween leather via the Tannery Row.  This stuff is unreal.  Its the thickest material ive ever used for a seat, but it turned out great.  This is going to be a lifetime seat...

Few New Ones Done!

Finished up a couple of custom orders the other night... Both turned out pretty slick.  The tracker style one is for an xs 650 made a little thicker in the seat area and a little less kick at the back.  The smaller solo style seat is for an older Harley Ironhead...

Triumph Bonneville Seats

Ive been wanting to find time to do this for a long time.  This weekend i spent some time fitting up the first prototype seat for the newer Triumph Bonnevilles.  A friend of mine lent me his Bonneville to test on in exchange for a new custom seat.

This is just a first pass, and the seat was made to follow the grab rail attachment in the back.  Future plans for the seat design include a flat style seat...

Brown Leather custom xs 650 seat

Finished this shorty version of one of my xs 650 seats tonight using that new hide of leather i got the other day...   Turned out super nice!

For Sale: 1976 Kawasaki Kz 750 Twin Bratstyle

Ive had this bike for almost 6 years and it has been reliable from day one.  I replaced the stock carbs with Mikuni VM 34mm Roundslide carbs with manifolds machine to work with the heads.  The carbs are pulled by a Magura throttle assembly.  The throttle is mounted to Woodcraft clip on handlebars.  Has a new aftermarket master cylinder with braided line to a stock brake caliper in the front.

The tires were replaced with Firestone Deluxe Chamions front and rear.  Wheels are painted low gloss black.  Rear shocks are aftermarket and close to stock height.  I cut and welded in a rear hoop to the frame and mounted a custom seat that was done a few years ago.  The seat is worn in, but in great condition.  It is diamond stitched with white stiching on black vinyl.

The paint on the tank and fender was done by removing the paint and letting the metal rust in the elements for a few days.  It was then cleaned and surfaced, and sprayed with clear coat.  After the clear cured it was wet sanded and buffed to a nice finish.

The bike has more custom bits on it, but those are the major ones.

Bike is For Sale:  $4500 OBO

I will have the bike at Rice O Rama this weekend in Spencer, Ma.  I have Bill of Sale and old Registration for paperwork which is all that is required in RI.

KZ 750 Twin Cafe Racer Refresher

Well Im getting this 1976 Kz750 Twin ready to sell.  I am planning on taking it to the Rice O Rama swap meet in Spencer, MA this weekend.  Check it out if your in the area.

I had been meaning to shave the front forks/rebuild/shave the swingarm, and replace/repaint the tank for a long time.  Selling the bike was the final excuse to get all of these done.

I am going to miss this bike.  I bought it to ride while i rebuilt another yamaha xs 650 and I have loved it ever since.  Its been the most reliable bike ive ridden.  Unfortunately i have a ton of other projects that i want to work on, so this thing needs a new owner.

I will post up some final pictures once i re-wrap the exhaust and do a few other final things to it.
